I've had this issue come up as of late.

I double click the access file to open it, but it does not open. However, next to the .mdb file a second file ending with .ldb appears which means I supposably running it, yet as I just said access doesn't appear. I try to deleted the .ldb file but of course it doesn't allow me to. Gives me an error saying something about sharing violation. So, now I can't access the file! However, if I leave it alone for a long time and come back later and try to delete the .ldb file it lets me and then allows me to open the .mdb file when I click on it again. However, if I close and open the .mdb file repeatedly it eventually takes me through that whole scenario again.

Has anyone heard of this before? If so, do you know what it means or how I can fix it? It's hard to work on a project if it decides not to let me in for awhile, ya know?

Side note, the .mdb is on a server which I remotely access through my laptop. Only thing I can think of is the request I send by clicking on it to open just gets hung up somewhere along the way to the server?
